The Gunners had a relatively average season last stem as they appeared to be in a transitional state. It began with people not knowing if the Emirates stadium will be like the fortress Highbury and in a way it was, as they lost only 1 game at home last season and that was fluke to West Ham as they totally dominated the game.

But they had to come from 1 goal deficit, way too many times for comfort. It was not all doom and gloom though as they were able to introduce to the public, yet again, another array of young talent which appears to be never ending from their conveyor belt. The likes of Diaby, Denilson and Walcott had fine seasons.

While presenting a stress management workshop, the participants were asked to tell what their daily stressors were. Without hesitation, one lady shouted out, “Too much husband!” Apparently, her husband had recently retired and was just plain getting in her way.

This woman had had a well-greased routine that she followed every day. For years, she got all her chores done with no interruptions or annoyances. Now… every time she turned around, there he was. He was poking into things, getting in the way, and becoming a major annoyance. She couldn’t move without him looking over her shoulder, asking what she was doing, or just standing where she wanted to be going. It had been her turf for a good many years, and now her space was being invaded.

I have discussed many political things over the past several years, many of them at AC. One that is not even on my “burners” but that nevertheless flabbergasts me is the stance that NRA takes re weapons. It is true that manufacturers make things for which there is a demand. Also, weapon manufacturers have a special operation/marketing concern to make sure that those items destined for military use do not wind up being sold to civilians.

Over 30 yrs ago, Israelis had made for them, Uzzi weapons, small machine guns to use against terrorist Arabs that infiltrated their lands. Naturally, the manufacture sought further markets for their production line and easily found same.
